These docs are committing basic errors.
6.6% infected has to be wrong. That just shows we're not testing enough to see the true, much lower, number. It's also biased because we're not randomly sampling--instead we're testing people that are already showing symptoms.
Then when that inflated number goes in the denominator, it makes it look like the fatality rate is much lower.

As someone pointed out in another comment, these guys talk very strongly about how someones "opinions about the data" might change when they aren't getting a paycheck. These two guys co-own several urgent care clinics are and thus probably suffering due to Covid-19 shelter-in-place orders.
